About
A yacht surveyor with a potent engineering career
My path
I started my career in Brodosplit in 1991 in production of cargo and passanger ships. After a couple of years in Brodosplit and a finished University of naval architecture (FESB), I progressed firstly into an assistant designer, and after that into the Head of steel assemblies technology department. While in Brodosplit I parallelly worked with Pro Mar Design and Anemos design offices on Superyachts and Special crafts. After 15 years in Brodosplit, in 2006, I moved to Salona yachts and started as a designer for yacht systems and technology, and was later promoted to R&D department manager and Board member. During my 8 years in Salona yachts my team and I have made a number of improvements and inovations on Salona yachts range and I was a part of team that developed vacuum infusion process for Salona yachts back in 2008. While in Salona, I also worked on new projects development in close cooperation with Ker yachts design, J&J design and Cossutti yacht design, who is still my friend and partner on current business ventures.
In 2014 I decided to start my own company, Pulse yacht design, and I am proud to say that my team and I worked with some of the biggest names in yacht industry:

In 2020 I decided to become a Permanent sworn court surveyor to expand my career in one more direction.
My whole life I have been surrounded by boats, and I have worked on everything; building them in my beginnings to introducing GRP Vacuum infusion to various shipyards, designing of Yacht systems and equipment, hull structures, project management, etc. This is all something I am very familiar with, which, I hope, would make me a trusted yacht surveyor on your yacht.
